Kx85

[Midget200]

Have put my 85 on Trade Me if anyone is interested, or knows anyone that would be interested in a 2009 that I've had for the past 5 months! Here's the link. I've also got a flywheel weight for an 85 and some after market plastics.

Maybe a dumb question but would the flywheel weight fit a CR80 & how much do you want for it?

Yeah can't seem to get it right! Not blaming the bike, blaming the person riding it! I just found I had to work too hard to get it to perform, especially after riding a 250! I've bought a KDX200! Still a 2 stoke, but seems more like a 4 stroke! Hopefully this is it! Found the little wheels hell in the deep sand, the KDX just ploughs through them!

Bradz is right! It fits KX60, 80, 85, 100, 1988-2009, it's a 10 ounce. It's part 609. Yours is definitely part 509 for the 10 ounce. Buggar!

No worries - haven't even decided if i'm gonna put one on for sure yet but thought yours might be an option - ah well

Love it Midget, you're the shortie bike guinea pig I like riding krad's KDX, but it's just too tall. Keep saying if they made a midget version I'd have one. Be quite interested to see how yours is lowered

Oh great, guinea pig eh! Well they've cut out about 2 inches in the seat! Spectrum have had a part made that lowers it quite a bit as well, then dropping the front forks down, blah, blah! Will see if I can kick start it, that's really the main problem. If that isn't low enough, then apparently I can get a spacer made, so lowering internally! We shall see. These bikes are apparently the easiest to lower! Will let you know on Sunday. Was going to do the Paparimu ride, but might go to Woodhill to learn to kick start it!

So does that make you Midget200 now? hehe!
You're gonna love it I'm sure!

[Pornstar]

Low rider KDX, sweet, just imagin it with some ape hangers too, then just cruise past your buddies cool as can be.

Hey Midge re kick starting. Few things that work for me.
When you kick start a 2smoker Some bikes like being in Neutral so select neutral first (gets rid of the clutch drag) until you get the technique right, push on the kick start till the motor turns over to the point you have resistance from the top of the kick start stroke not half way down, Then push hard but firmly right through the kick stroke, don't stab at it. If you have had an off or the bike has stalled a lot of two smokers start easier if you hold the throttle on full then release it once it fires up, so try this.
Every bike is a bit different but I've found these things work with most, good luck, hope you enjoy your first ride!

I found barty's kx125 easier to start than my drz125.... am keen beans to hear how you go on the 200, I'm still reluctant to get on a 2 stroke but need to move on from my lil' bike, want big wheels and low end power but not all the weight, 200 might be the answer??

[mfordy]

Don't use any throttle when starting cold. Just turn on the fuel, lift the choke and kick. Should start first or second kick and listen for the KDX rattle
